Could be, yes. The red is growing on me though. Remove the ugly GASGAS, and maybe add some Husky decals… (as a reminder to the BMW Husky era)

Beyond the colors, check out the difference in the shape of the plastics.
Totally different.
The squared off shape of the red one makes it look like a whole new bike.

Oh, bad news.
Unfortunately, GasGas has announced that these models won’t come to North America for 2022.

Ha, no! My FTR is a unicorn now. She's not leaving.

But with such a great bike like the Vitpilen, I bet you "Harley" drive your FTR?
Then again, two bikes with a red trellis frame next to each other in the g'rage does have its appeal...

Horrible right?
Not a fan of completely red bikes, but nice touch on changing the plastics. 701 and 690 plastics are also different:
I wonder if it will have the same price point. At least here in Puerto Rico, KTM’s are more expensive than Husky’s.

It’s not coming to the US (for now at least), I would think that means Puerto Rico too.. 
Definitely. But I already have my 701 Enduro so no issue for meIt’s not coming to the US (for now at least), I would think that means Puerto Rico too..
Now for my next bike, either one of yours would be perfect
It may sound stupid to have two bikes with the same engine, but I still want to grab a used 701 Vit or Svart someday. Beautiful design.

Gotta be careful though, when's more than one than you need to choose which one you gonna go out with.
